Off of Weezer’s eighth studio album (Hurley 2010), “Unspoken” was actually written right after Rivers Cuomo had gotten married to his wife, Kyoko Ito Cuomo, in 2006. Cuomo was quoted from a Q&A session with SPIN in which he actually goes in depth as to how the song came to be:

[Verse 1]
Every morning, every day
I am hoping for the chance to get away
In the evening, every night
I am dreaming of a chance to make it right
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Every chance that I get
I am placing a bet
On the sun in the sky
[Chorus]
And if you take this away from me
I'll never forgive you, can't you see?
Our life will be broken
Our hate will be unspoken
[Verse 2]
I can feel those metal chains
And they're holding back the hope that keeps me sane
I can fight back, yes I can!
Because I'm strong enough to show you I'm a man
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I hate what you do
When your poison seeps through
And you're laughing at me
[Chorus]
And if you take this away from me
I'll never forgive you, can't you see?
Our life will be broken
Our hate will be unspoken
[Bridge]
Every chance that I get
I am placing a bet
On the sun in the sky
As it sets out of sight
And I hate what you do
When your poison seeps through
And you're laughing at me
[Chorus]
And if you take this away from me
I'll never forgive you, can't you see?
Our life will be broken
Our hate will be unspoken
And if you take this away from me
I'll never forgive you, can't you see?
Our life will be broken
Our hate will be unspoken
Unspoken was written by Rivers Cuomo.
Unspoken was produced by Shawn Everett & Rivers Cuomo.
